PERFORMANCE:

Out of 16GB internal storage, 10.4GB free space is available. The mobile is running on Android v6.0.1 Marshmallow and there is pretty much no bloat ware. It is a very clean OS. It is performing well and I didn’t notice any lag either. Now the RAM has been upgraded to 3gigs. USB OTG is also supportable. It is provided with dual app feature where you can have two whatsapps, two facebook accounts synced on your device etc. This feature is introduced from Galaxy Note 7.

The phone actually does work out quite well. I haven’t noticed any lag or further web browsing worked out great. Apps opened quickly as well. And you can see multi-tasking also did workout well. The RAM seems to be pretty decent on this mobile. New software features do make out quite a lot of sense. Including locking and hiding of the app. But it would be nice to have a fingerprint sensor too. You also get the one handed mode available. If you are looking for a smartphone with 15000, this should be under consideration. Solid built quality and the phone does seem to perform well too. The game quality is quite good when I played subway surfers but when I started playing Riptide there is a bit lag and continues frame drops. The lag is quite apparent when I played NFC most wanted.

The phone is not doing that well in terms of gaming. The On8 does have a super AMOLED display which is quite different from other on series smartphones which used to come with a TFT panel. The phone is not getting heated up but is laggy. The HD display looks very good and the touch is very good to use and responsive.

The design is also very nice. The Quadrant benchmark score of the device is 20295. The Geek bench 4 score is 611 on a single score and 2839 on the multi-core. The device is competing with the ONEPLUS 2. The AnTuTu score of the device is 42094. And the Nenamark 2 score is 59.0fps.

CAMERA:

Talking about the rear camera. It does capture very quickly and it is able to focus relatively quickly as well. There is a bit control over the pro mode. And you also get the HDR mode too. Now the front facing flash is not exactly a flash but is always on and gets the job done.

VERDICT:

Samsung Galaxy On8 is definitely a budget mobile with good features. It got excellent sound quality. It got remarkable battery support. It is available at a price range of Rs15K. If you are looking for a smartphone with 15000, this should be under consideration. Solid built quality and the phone does seem to perform well too.
